As an educational leader I am committed to making a difference in education for future generations and I have a passion to be involved in the shaping and leading of best practice schools. ii. Mentors have advised me, after completing NAPP themselves, that the relationships, knowledge, and skills that I will gain by being part of NAPP will be most beneficial in equipping me for principalship. iii. As a life long learner I believe that the NAPP is a privileged opportunity I wish to take full advantage of it. I believe NAPP is the next step in my pathway and development as an educational leader.
